The Arkansaw traveler., 1887-12-17

A principal of public school ir Pennsylvania recently wrote to Ma thaniel Hawthorne asking for his au- tograph. He said they proposed to hold literary fair to get money for a school library. They evidently need library. The ignorance of the prin- cipal reminds one of the society lady in London.
 "Who is this Dean Swift they were talking about?" she asked friend. a would lik0 to invite him to one of my receptions"
 "Alas, madame" replied the other, "the dean did something that has shut him out of society,""
 "Dear mel what was that?"
 "Well, about hundred years ago he died. ."-Detroa Free Press.

Dying in Time.
Exchange.

Moore's lines about the "dear ga Zelle" which, when it came to know and love its nurse, was sure to die, are prophetic of the fate of pets. Sooner or later they come to some untimely end. An English gentleman, anxious to finish some literary work, went to a remote French village, where he lived quietly in it's one inn. He found pleasure ill playing with small, one- legged owl, pet of the landlords.
 On the day he finished his work he noticed the absence of the owl. The next day he ate his last dinner, and was struck by the appearance on the table of little round, legless bird, with sauce.
 "What bird is this?" he asked the maid-servant. She suddenly left the room. That night the landlord brought in his bill.
 By the by, what has become of that nice little owl I was SO fond ot?" asked the departing guest.
 "Monsieur," said the host, "has been content with his service?"
 "Quite satisfied; but l am sorry not to find the owl. What has become of her?"
 "Monsieur has had his soup, his roast, his game each day he has been here."
 "Yes, yes," said the Englishman, impatiently, as a horrible suspicion crossed his mind; "but about the owl?"
 "Monsieur, on this last day, with all my efforts, l could get no game for monsieurs dinner"
 "What, you did not kill the owl for me?" exclaimed the mortified guest.
 "No, monsieur. He died just in time !"

What Kept Lincoln Awake.

A. Washington despatch to the Philadelphia Press tells this story: see the death announced of General Elias W. Leavenworth of Syracuse, who was member of the forty fourth congress. He is very pleas antly remembered in Washington as a gentleman of courtly manners and a liberal entertainer. They used to tell a story about him that I think never got into the newspapers.
 During the darkest days of the war therc was squabble in Syracuse over the appointment of a postmaster. Two factions of the Republican party had candidates, and each had sent to Washington numerously signed pe- titions for the appointment of it's favorite. Finally, to get the matter settled, delegation, composed of the wealthiest men of the town and sev- eral of the most prominent ministers and lawyers, headed by General Leavenworth, visited the national capitol and secured an audience with President Lincoln. General Leaven- worth had carefully prepared his speech to Mir. Lincoln, and it ran something like this:
 "MR. PRESIDENT: It is with great reluctance that we intrude upon you this morning. We appreciate the awful responsibilities and perplexities of your position, and do not forget that the very life of the nation is in your hands. But, MT. President, the people of the great, loyal north are at your back, and they are praying, sir, that your life may be spared, and that you may be given strength to carry this war through to a successful issue."
 MT. Lincoln listened to General Leavenworth with some impatience until he reached this point, and then interrupted him with:
 "I assure you, my dear sir, that it isn't the war or the army that is worrying the life out of me it is that blamed Syracuse postoffice that is keeping me awake nights."
 General Leavenworth did not finish his speech. The delegation presented their case in the briefest possible man. ner, and felt much more comfortable when they reached Pennsylvania ave- nue than they did in the presence of tho president.

AMUCK ON A TRAIN.
San Francisco Chronicle.

Conductor Conlisk and Brakeman James Ganong took possession of the train at Grand Junction, and were ac- cordingly informed that there was a crazy Chinaman locked in the water closet. After proceeding with his usual duties and collecting fares the conductor asked the brakeman what show there was to get the Chinaman out of the closet, and the brakeman proceeded to the car to investigate. He hammered on the door and called, John, come out," but the Chinaman chattered away without paying any attention.
 Ganong then climbed up and looked over the door, which the Chinaman immediately unlocked and opened, and as Ganong came down made lunge for him with dirk knife with blade six inches long. The brakeman luck fly fell over in the coal box, the thrust which was intended for his stomach ripping open his pants between his legs. He escaped through the door into the rear car, where Conductor Conlisk was, and said, "I've been stabbed by that Chinaman. Where's your gun, John?"
 Conlisk told him not to get excited and perhaps they could effect the cap ture of the Chinaman without killing him. Ganong borrowed the pistol, however, and also secured hammer from the end of the car.
 In the meantime scene of the wild est terror was being enacted in the car where the crazy Chinaman was, and which contained over thirty passen- gers. The Chinaman stood at one end of the car with poker ill one hand and bowie-knife in the other, mak- ing, as one witness expresses it, de- moniacal demonstrations, shouting, "I kill every man; I kill every woman i; l kill everybody"
 Not one of the passengers seemed to have any weapon, and Dr. J. c. Pome- roy, of St. Paul, Minn., bound for San Diego, who was an army surgeon for years, describes the position as the most uncomfortable he ever experi- enced in his life.
 During this time the brakeman and conductor had concluded to capture the man by one going in at the rear and the other at the front door. As soon as Brakeman Ganong entered the rear door the Chinaman seemed to ap- prehend the move and started down the aisle of the car to meet him, shrieking and waving his knife and poker. Two or three seats up, the wife of Major Almond, of southern Illinois, was seated on one side of the car with her baby, and on the other side George Hucklebridge, a young man of twenty-one from Bunker Hill, H., going to Los Angeles, was read ing paper. Mrs. Almond jumped up as the Chinaman approached with yell, "Sit down; I kill you," at the same time making thrust at her which she avoided by falling on the floor and crawling in the aisle.
 The Chinaman immediately swerved around to the other side of the car where Hucklebridge was lying, and without any warning stabbed him in the stomach. Brakeman Ganong im- mediately fired three shots, the first entering below the Chinaman's right ear, the second striking his left breast bone and the third going through his left arm. He fell over between the seats mortally wounded, but did not expire until eleven o'clock, when Green river was reached.

A Young Man with Sao, 900.
Boston Transcript.

OShOu 4IdnoCIlpt.
 A veteran Boston Broker tells the listener this story of Commodore Vanderbilt, which he does not believe has ever been in print:
 "A good many years ago, just about the time that Commodore Vanderbilt was building up the New York Gen. tral, certain young man in Boston came into possession, by the death of a relative, of the tidy little sum of S20,0O0. Twenty thousand dollars was more money then than it is to-day, and this young man had visions of wealth untold. He studied the small stock list ill my office day after day without coming to any conclu- sion. At last one day, seized by a brilliant thought, he broke out
 "'John, Pm going to see Vanderbilt about it.
 "'About what?'
 "'About placing my money.'
 "I thought that was the maddest idea that ever entered human head. told him that the Commodore wouldn't waste twenty seconds on $20,000 investment. But he wouldn't be dissuaded, and one night about 10 o'clock he rang the door bell at the Vanderbilt residence. After some delay servant answered and de- manded his business.
 "'Here's my card," said the young Bostonian. 'Mr. John Smith, Boston. Tell the commodore that I must see him tonight on business of the ut most lmportance.'
 "'Mr. Vanderbilt is about to retire. responded the servant. You had bet ter come in the morning.
 1t may be too late then for both him and me. must see him tonight if only for five minutes
 "The servant disappeared, only to return with the message from the commodore that he would see Mir. Smith if the business was of the ut most importance. The Bostonian fol- lowed the servant up into a little dressing room, where stood the com modore, wrapped in flannel garment of the night. He had evidently got out of bed to receive the visitor.
 "Well, young man, what do you want? was the commodore's impa- tient question.
 "'Commodore Vanderbilt, I have recently come into possession of $20, ,000, ond have come on to New York to ask you for information about the stock market
 "'What the blank blank do you come to me about the stock market for? Why don't you go to some stock broker?'
 "'Because you are the stock mar ket yourself, commodore.'
 "'Look here, MT. Smith, said the modified Commodore, I admire your cheek. think it deserves encourage ment. Go down to Wall street to- morrow morning early. Put your $20, ,000 and as much more as you can raise into New York Central. Don't ask me why but go and do it.. It's a sickly thing now, but it ain't going to be long. Lock up your stock and let it alone; never mind what anybody tells you. Now get out
 "The young man came back to Bos- ton and narrated his experience.
 "Did he follow the commodore's advice? No. He said he wasn't going to let Vanderbilt gobble up his $20,0OO. He put it into mining stocks and lost every cent of it."
